2013 Record: 3-9

2014 Las Vegas Season Win Total: 4.5*

2014 Season Win Total Picks NCAA Football: 'Under'

Bob Davie continues to try to push an extraordinarily large rock up an incredibly steep hill down in Albuquerque. Progress has been slow. But he has won seven games the past two seasons, matching its New Mexico's seven wins from the previous four years.

Davie has a few more cards to play this year as he welcomes back his top two passers, five of his top six rushers, and five of his top six receivers on offense. The defense is a major issue though. They have six starters back from a team that allowed all but two of its opponents to score 35 or more points and gave up an average of 60 points in its last three contest.

The Lobos have three of their first four games at home and have two weeks to prepare for its rivalry game with New Mexico State. The problem is that they play their weakest opponents on the road. And a team that has gone just 4-33 straight up on the road is far from a sure thing in those spots.

This season win total projection is very optimistic. I simply can't see this schedule producing five wins. I would play New Mexico 'under'.
